The idea of the program

It is not enough just to read the text; it is important to extract useful facts
and ideas from it. People write down notes for remembering them, as the human mind
cannot memorize more than seven objects at once. If the number of notes exceeds
a certain amount, one should systematize them. The process of notes systematization
means selecting the main ideas, dividing them into categories, deleting copies and
finding the blanks in the whole plan.

In this way, the author of the program prepared the text for this
project and his other books.

Speed reading tips

Sail through the barrage of information out there using some key reading and
skimming skills.

Jot down quick notes, questions or thoughts that will make it
easier to refer to the material later. Taking notes is also good for active reading
and the better retention of important points.

Survey the layout of your reading material. Look at the title
and the boldface section headings, and piece together the logical flow of the paper.
This framework will guide you in reading the piece more carefully.

Read different materials at different speeds: Skim or speed-read
less important items, and put off important or difficult texts for the time when
you are more alert and free.

If you need to skim, reading the first sentence of each paragraph
(which is usually the topic sentence) to try to get a general idea of its content.

Pick out the main ideas of a book by reading its cover flaps and
scanning the table of contents. Use the index to locate key words quickly.

Practice reading more quickly by moving your index finger down
a row of text at a speed slightly faster than your normal reading speed.

Highlight or sparingly underline some sentences, so that really
useful information won't be lost.
